the Printer which you are using is not suitable and configured in ADS. choose another printer/Device when viewing or printing.

But i want to confirm you that before upgradation from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, we use the same Printer (LOCL)..

After it, it is giving the same message...

Note: - I read in 1 thread about the PDF1 Device Type (for ecc 6.0), so i change according it...but not showing after it..

Now what can i do...

in 4.7 there is no Adobeforms , so you might be using smartform or script.

But in this case it is Adobeform, the printer needs to be configured. It can be PDF1 or anything. check with your basis and choose the printer name accordingly.

what happened after you choose the PDF1..?
